Happy Father’s Day Barry! Our sons wouldn’t be who they are without you. You show them love and affection as you do strength. You are the perfect balance, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner.

Collective Teacher Efficacy is not a slogan. It’s a system.

John Hattie ranks Collective Teacher Efficacy as the #1 influence on student achievement—with an effect size of 1.57. But too often, it’s used as a buzzword without understanding what it really takes to create it.

So what does it look like in action?

1. Common Goals + Shared Clarity

“When educators believe that together they can impact learning, it becomes a powerful driver of success.” – Jenni Donohoo
Schools with CTE don’t just have “mission statements”—they have laser-focused, measurable goals that everyone knows and works toward. That means:
•Clearly defined learning outcomes
•Aligned PLC goals
•Instructional practices that are anchored in student data

2. Embedded Collaboration
True collaboration isn’t just meeting together—it’s working together toward student outcomes. According to Donohoo, teams must:
•Analyze student work regularly
•Engage in joint problem-solving
•Use protocols that focus on impact, not just planning

This means moving beyond “what are we teaching?” to “what worked, for whom, and why?”

3. Leaders Who Create the Conditions
Hattie and Fullan emphasize that leadership matters most when it builds teacher belief and action. That looks like:
•Protecting time for high-quality collaboration
•Modeling vulnerability and data-informed decisions
•Celebrating progress based on evidence, not just effort

4. Evidence of Impact
You can’t build efficacy without results. Teachers need to see:
•Growth in student learning
•Patterns of success from specific practices
•Reflection tools that track progress over time

Regularly asking: What is our evidence that students are learning better because of what we did?

5. Psychological Safety and Trust
Without trust, CTE can’t exist. That means creating a culture where:
•It’s safe to share failure
•Staff value learning over looking good
•Feedback is normalized, not weaponized.

You don’t declare collective efficacy—you build it through systems, leadership, and focused work.

When educators believe they can—and actually see they are—making a difference, the entire school moves forward.

Just finished revisiting What Great Principals Do Differently by Todd Whitaker, and it hits differently every time—especially as we gear up for a new school year.

The biggest reminder? It’s not about programs. It’s not about policies. It’s about people.

Whitaker is crystal clear: great principals focus on what they can control, and they make every decision based on what is best for students. That sounds simple—but it’s bold, especially when pressure is coming from every direction.

A few takeaways that stand out every time:
•Great principals treat every person with respect—especially the difficult ones. It’s not about letting things slide, it’s about modeling composure and dignity in every interaction. I think about hallway conversations, parent emails, and teacher evaluations. How we show up matters.
•They don’t just support great teachers—they replicate them. Instead of spending all your time trying to “fix” underperformers, great leaders create structures that amplify what the strongest teachers are already doing. That’s why we’ve been focusing so hard on learning walks, peer coaching, and cross-team sharing. Excellence is contagious—if we create the right conditions.
•They never lower expectations to protect feelings. They hold tight to the belief that every student can learn and every adult can improve. That belief shapes how they lead PD, how they talk about data, and how they build trust.

The book asks this simple but game-changing question: Would you want to be a teacher in your own school?

The more I lead, the more I sit with that.

If you’re leading a school, or thinking about what kind of leader you want to be, revisit this book. Then look at your culture, your language, your time, and your decisions—and ask: Are we walking the talk?

Let’s build schools where every kid, and every adult, knows they matter. @ToddWhitaker
